Please Pass The Biscuits Lyrics

Please Pass The Biscuits by Jimmy Dean

Please Pass The Biscuits
(singers)
Just picture a lad, between Mom and Dad
Its Sunday the tables all set
Thereâ€™s uncles, thereâ€™s aunts, and cousins galore
Thereâ€™s plenty of food to be et

The blessing is said, they reach for the bread
Itâ€™s a feast a king could afford
Thereâ€™s clatter, thereâ€™s chatter, but somethingâ€™s the matter
Thereâ€™s someone whoâ€™s being ignored

(spoken)
Uh, would you please pass the biscuits?
Uh, would you pass the biscuits please?
Same thing ever Sunday since I canâ€™t remember when
Kinfolks all around the table and the biscuits at tuther end

I got a plate of chicken and taters, and a lot of stuff like that
All, all I need is a biscuit, but I wish youâ€™d look where theyâ€™re at
I guess I could reach across the table,
But thatâ€™s ill-mannered, Mom always said
I wish I had a biscuit, I just canâ€™t eat without bread

Uh, would you pass the biscuits
Uh, excuse me, would you please pass the biscuits
All I want is a biscuit, nobody seems to care
If they wouldnâ€™t talk so dog-gone loud
They might be able to hear

Hot doggies, theyâ€™re half-finished eatinâ€™ and I ainâ€™t even begun
I wish youâ€™d look at them biscuits disappear, Iâ€™ll be luck if I get a one
Same thing ever Sunday, always company to be fed
Theyâ€™re talkinâ€™ like theyâ€™re wound up
Boy, I wish I had a piece of bread

HEY!!!! Would, would, would you please pass the biscuits
It looks like somebody would notice that I ainâ€™t started eatinâ€™ yet
Sure be glad when they get their fill, and go into the parlor and set
Then, by golly, I wonâ€™t have to use my manners
Iâ€™ll just get a biscuit myself

Well, Iâ€™ll be a monkeyâ€™s uncle, there ainâ€™t a biscuit left
The only day of the week we get Sunday-fed
And theyâ€™ve et up all the biscuits
And, uh, I just canâ€™t eat without bread

(singers)
Thereâ€™s something the matter, no bread on the platter
And he just canâ€™t eat without bread
